"You!" Meng Zhaodi was instantly agitated, jumping up and down on the spot, saying, "I’ll go apologize!"
"Good, tomorrow morning, classroom number 10 in the outer court, I’ll wait for you."
Xia Chuyi calmly finished speaking and walked away with Jiang Shuqin.
After they had walked a distance, Jiang Shuqin couldn’t help but ask, "Chuyi, what was the meaning of that half-day of charades with that ’Meng Zhaodi’?"
"Could it be, the one I’m guessing?" Jiang Shuqin asked in immense turmoil.
Xia Chuyi just smiled and said, "Exactly the one you’re guessing, impersonation."
Jiang Shuqin was utterly astonished, saying, "Impersonation? Really? Here at Kyoto University? To think someone would dare to impersonate their way here?"
"She thinks this is where? Somewhere you can easily graduate by faking it? What was she thinking?"
Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "You underestimate the audacity of some people."
She remembered the person who had taken away her admission notice.
Then Jiang Shuqin asked again, "So how did you figure it out? Did you know the real Meng Zhaodi?"
Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "No, I don’t."
Jiang Shuqin looked incredulous, "Then how did you know?"
The way she looked at her was almost as if she were looking at a non-human.
Seeing Jiang Shuqin , Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Actually, it wasn’t anything profound."
"I think you also noticed, just now, that person had a complete princess attitude."
"The way she dressed, she was also very trendy."
"A person like that, in theory, should stand out in our Ling County."
"Yet, I had no recollection of her."
Even though she had only been in high school for a year and a half, a girl like that, extroverted, fashionably dressed, and academically successful, should have been memorable—unless she, like myself, had a study tool like "space," and her grades suddenly shot up.
That possibility is virtually zero.
After considering her words, Xia Chuyi said to Jiang Shuqin, "Shuqin, the name Zhaodi? Do you know what it means?"
"Zhaodi means ’calling for a younger brother’."
"Generally, families who name their daughter this usually favor sons over daughters."
"And that Meng Zhaodi, she doesn’t seem like she grew up in such an environment."
Pausing, Xia Chuyi continued, "Of course, there could be exceptions."
"But she seemed, not very familiar with her own name."
"And also, it seemed like, she was very afraid that I would recognize her."
"And for a person of her personality not to attend the Hometown Association is very intriguing."
Jiang Shuqin exclaimed in astonishment, "Just by these?"
Xia Chuyi shook her head, "Also, did you forget what Song Yingjie said earlier? From finance to archaeology."
"She might think in her heart that archaeology doesn’t require any specialized knowledge, and it’s a good place to bluff."
"So you just knew she was an imposter?"
Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Not at all."
"I wasn’t sure at all, it’s just that I was almost impersonated myself, so it just crossed my mind."
"So I just bluffed her a bit, who knew her psychological quality was so poor, she confessed outright."
Well, that was slick.
Jiang Shuqin shook her head and said, "Chuyi, I’ve come to realize you really are quite the fox."
"With Chi Yue, with this Meng Zhaodi too."
Fox is fox, why add old?
Well, although she is indeed quite "old."
Suddenly, she thought with a smirk in her mind: she’s been influenced by Uncle Liberation Army.
